Visitors have one final opportunity today to experience two remarkable exhibitions at Akureyri Art Museum. Both Samlífi by Heimir Hlöðversson and Tími – Rými – Efni by Þóra Sigurðardóttir close this evening, marking the end of their successful runs.
Heimir Hlöðversson, a multimedia artist and filmmaker, presents Samlífi as an immersive video and sound installation exploring the connections and contrasts between people and nature. The work raises questions about how human actions affect the adaptability of nature, and in turn, how the natural world shapes human life. Surrounding video projections create a unified whole that evokes an abstract, organic inner world.
Þóra Sigurðardóttir, who grew up in Akureyri and has exhibited widely in Iceland and abroad, brings her decades-long interest in material, space, and drawing into focus with Tími – Rými – Efni. The works highlight the sensitivity of the body and its interaction with materials such as chalk, coal, metals, membranes, fibers, and even waste. Her pieces can be found in collections including the National Gallery of Iceland, Reykjavík Art Museum, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
Both exhibitions have been supported by the Icelandic Visual Arts Fund, the Muggi Travel Fund, Myndstef, and the Artists’ Salaries Fund. The shows have attracted visitors with their shared focus on the intersection of nature, material, and human experience.
Today marks the last chance to see these works in person at Akureyri Art Museum before the exhibitions close.
